VMWare VSphere Client Cannot complete login due to an incorrect username or password

I used to be able to access VSphere and all of a sudden we started receiving the error: "Error Connecting. Cannot complete login due to  an incorrect username or password." I already checked there is a PTR and DNS record. I already rebooted the PSC vm.  I can login to PSC with admin credentials. I also confirmed the domain is added under Identity Sources.  Is there anything else I can try?

So this is connecting to vCenter Server ?

Correct
Did we made any recent changes ?
if you are not able to connect vCenter from your system did we tried accessing vCenter directly from VC machine ?

No changes. I can login as local administrator (administrator@vsphere6.local) but not as my domain username.

Yes, it is joined to the domain. Clocks are in sync. I was able to login earlier again and I logged out to test it again and started receiving the same error :(

I removed the domain and tried to add it again and I now get this error.

Reconfigured NTP and also re added domain. We didn't know the root password and used this to reset it:
